Description

On the highest point of the famous Santorini caldera, nestled in the colorful volcanic rock stands, Villa Kofinas. This property has a dramatic and unsurpassed view of the caldera, surrounding islands, azure Aegean Sea, and the picturesque village of Imerovigli from almost every vantage point.

Villa Kofinas is a place where style and opulence blend perfectly with beauty and tradition. The villa houses four luxury suites, each with a unique ambience, and offers professional high-end services coupled with time-honored Cycladian hospitality. The suites are designed in the traditional Cycladic style, each has a private terrace with either a swimming pool or Jacuzzi with a stunning view over the caldera and the Aegean Sea.

Villa Kofinas was originally a group of houses built over 100 years ago and recently renovated in 2007 by a talented local designer. Careful attention was given to providing all possible modern conveniences while preserving the traditional architecture in the process. Each suite incorporates chic decor, stylish furnishing, pristine white washed walls, use of local colors, and immaculately finished with attention to many details. The result yields a dazzling effect!

Please note: At the owner's request, only children over the age of fifteen are allowed.

NOTE: THIS PROPERTY CAN BE RENTED FOR LONG WEEKENDS (MINIMUM 3 NIGHTS) DURING LOW AND MID SEASON. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT PRICE.

Suite Lyrkia is the essence of luxury with its private swimming pool, equipped with hydro-massage jets, embedded into the terrace overlooking the remnants of the ancient volcano surrounded by the sea. Relax in the sun on the pool lounges by day and on the candle-lit terrace at dusk. In the evening, this superb view becomes even more magnificent with the intense colors of the infamous Santorini sunset. Inside, you and your entire party have plenty of space to relax in the inviting living room. The suite also contains a fully equipped kitchen and two spacious bedrooms - one decorated in Aegean blue with a queen bed, and the other in golden red reflecting the colors of the sunset at dusk with a queen bed. Both bathrooms (one with a shower, the other with a bathtub) are decorated in colorful tiles.

Santorini Island is in the Cyclades island group located in the Aegean Sea between Ios and Anafi. The island is renowned for its stunning sunsets and unfathomable blue of the Aegean Sea.

The Minoan capital of Santorini owes its unique curved shape, famous black sand beaches, and striking black/red/gray striated cliffs to the volcano that created it 3500 years ago; an event that led Plato to argue that Santorini was the lost city of Atlantis. The caldera, a seven mile crater enclosed by two arms of a crescent, serves as the harbor of Santorini and is one of its most defining features. The sunset over the caldera is a nightly extravaganza.

Santorini is home to no less than ten wineries, the most famous of which is Boutari. Wines of the region are dry with mineral overtones, with the exception of Vinsanto, which is the dessert wine of Santorini. Local art thrives on the island; there are many opportunities to view and purchase pieces created by local artists across the island.

The picturesque traditional village of Imerovigli is a short walk away and offers restaurants and shopping. Continue fifteen minutes further along the cliff path (with uninterrupted views of the sea) and you’ll arrive at Fira, the bustling capital of Santorini. Fira can also be reached via bus, private car, or taxi (which can be arranged for you anytime during the day or in the evening.) Following the cliff path in the opposite direction takes you to the charming village of Oia.
